Passions and realities

My newest digital landscape using my Graphics Tablet

Deep thoughts end me up in a random place. I have always had a passion for poetry…Writing it, reading it, studying it. I just really love poetry. I generally don’t like following the rules of poetry because I feel like that makes it harder to express what I want to say…but I still know many of them. I can tell you the rules off of the top of my head for several differing forms. I think that is why I feel most at home on Tumblr of all of the social media…it feels like poetry.

I found this on tumblr earlier…

It feels like truth…I end up shitposting on Facebook, I don’t really do much with Insta or Deviant…though I wish I could. I just end up feeling awkward. My anxiety eats at my posting on Tiktok. Discord I use for Fae Corps…We try to be open but most don’t even know how to use discord much less see it as a viable social platform.

I find it so hard to share my passions for poetry…because it ends up being such a niche passion. So few actually like it. I feel like it is because it was explained poorly in high school and no one takes the time to learn about it past that.. so many see poetry as only for love…Poetry is pure emotion…it is the heart of the poet spilled onto the page…Many people don’t process emotion well.

I think I want to post a different poem by a different poet everyday in November…as well as trying to post my own PAD challenge Results.(Poem A Day)..However it means that I am likely not going to do my normal posts during November. I decided not to have Serena do NaNoWrimo this year as I am incredibly busy. I am prepping Fae Corps’s Children’s books…and doing the PAD Challenge. I also have day to day life.

The other Poets I can Schedule ahead, and that will help. I really want to have you all see some of the amazing poems I have read.

Art Tablet thoughts

Ok…I finally got around to attempting it with my Laptop. I have worked on it with my desktop and I love it. It plug and played perfectly with my windows pc. It didn’t really need the driver to be downloaded, but I did just to be sure there would be no hiccups. My laptop is running Linux. I actually prefer Linux but there is so much I cannot do without windows due to compatibility of my favorite programs. I have found freeware that covers much of what I do, but there are a couple of programs (Master PDF Editor being the most important) that I cannot do without. (Master PDF Editor is available on Linux but I bought the license for windows when I was unable to run Linux for a time and don’t have the ability to buy it again right now.) My poor laptop is not a high end thing. I mostly use it when I have to travel and cannot bear to be away from accessing my files. The tablet’s driver is available for MAC or Windows only. So it does not have available drivers for my Laptop. It still plug and played. It did however freeze up while I was working about 8 times. That was slightly annoying. I believe that I will keep using the windows pc for it.

I really do enjoy the lovely nature of this tablet. I do better art with the fine control of a pen. I hope to post more soon.

Artsy Fartsy Thursday

Artsy Fartsy Let’s Discuss art

A digital flower from my phone as I am still trying to recover from my cold. Enjoy.

Whelp, it’s Wednesday

I know that this is becoming a habit. I will be getting back to the webcomics next week. I am nearly over this damn cold. I appreciate your patience.

Tuesday Tunes

A day for me to discuss music

Okay, I admit today is slightly different than my usual Tuesday fare. The above is a playlist I created on YouTube. It is based on a question one of my Facebook friends asked…

Quick! What is your favorite cover song that you think is better than the original?

Now that has some controversy… after all it depends on the eye of the beholder mechanic. What is good for me may not be to you.

Still, I enjoy the covers on this playlist and I thought I would share it with you. What is your favorite cover song?

Monday Poetry

Both of these poems are from my Xactly Poetic volume. If you are curious about the forms poem one is a cascade poem and poem two is a found poem. To be specific the second poem is all song titles.

So…when I am scheduling the blog for the week I often use the duplicate blog option to get the right settings for each. I ended up deleting last week’s Thursday post. It was the one about my new drawing tablet. I didn’t delete it on purpose. Technical difficulties y’all.
